Aidan Barton

Aidan Barton portrayed Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa as infants in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Though uncredited, he is given special thanks in the film's end credits.

Barton is the son of the film's editor, Roger Barton, and his wife . When it was time to shoot close-ups of the infant Luke and Leia, the older Barton revealed that he had just had a baby and suggested that they used his son for the scenes. According to the younger Barton, they only used him for close-ups in the scenes where Luke and Leia are handed off to their new families on Tatooine and Alderaan – the babies in the scenes where Padmé Amidala gives birth on Polis Massa were not him. For Barton's actual scenes, his mother brought him to the set and doubled as the people holding the babies, those being Rebecca Jackson Mendoza and Bonnie Maree Piesse; except for the moments where the babies are handed off, she was the only one who actually held him.

In 2019, original Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill tweeted that Barton played both Luke and Leia, but accidentally posted pictures of someone else, leading to Barton's mother sending an email to Hamill's manager to set the record straight, and Hamill making a new post to correct the error. After the incident, Barton and his family were going to have lunch with Hamill because Hamill lived close-by, but the day they were supposed to meet, the COVID-19 lockdown hit and the plans were scrapped.
